Now March is just around the corner, thoughts start to turn towards Spring and time to return to my favourite place Norfolk, just a few scenery shots below from my last trip there. Bring back so many good memories.

These are a few photo's from a family road trip taken last October, to Canada and New York, had marvellous weather, a couple of days after we returned they had thick snow, I was disappointed with Niagara Falls but the one thing I did not expect to affect me, absolutely blew me away and that was the Statue of Liberty. The photo below is of the Horseshoe Falls which is on the Canadian side. While at Niagara I did get to see my first Black Squirrel's and also a couple of American Robin's, did'nt have the right camera with me though to get a good image of them.

I have to admit I thought the Wirral was mainly Industry and Oil Terminals with nothing to see but tankers coming and going, only to find it has some of the best beaches I have ever seen and when the tide is in your favour it brings the Waders in so close you cannot fail to be impressed with the spectical, just a few more shots from my recent visit there, although I managed to find a pair of Stonechats, I don't like the messy background on the female but she would not play ball as much as the male and when I did get him in the clear he was just a little too far away.

What with work rota's and the weather conditions to contend with, this was a rare day out with Dearly Beloved, but with the chance of good company, lovely sunshine and a day to ourselves, it was not to be missed, as always I am not worthy but when you shadow the master, I have to hope that some of his greatness and advise will eventually rub off and sink in, but it's still great to get to just see him in action and I just love to be allowed along for the ride!!!

As much as I hate to be without Dearly Beloved, (like being without my right arm),(unfortunately the Seal had to work!) I could not resist the sunshine yesterday, so off I shot for an hour round our local patch, however, when I got there could not go into the car park as it looked like a skating rink, and the path's turned out to be no better, they were treacherous, could only make it as far as the bridge, as I was petrified of dropping my camera, but glad I did as there was a lot of activity there and we have had nothing but fog and drissle today.

Got up really early on a cold and frosty morning, which has to be the best time of the day, brings back happy memories of getting up early to see to my horses, to watch the sun rise over Biddulph Moor, had some very strange looks from passing motorists, but I think it was worth it.

About Me

Welcome to my Blog, I hope you enjoy looking at my favourite images as much as I have enjoyed taking them, I first picked up a camera in 2010 and have enjoy the experience ever since, the camera equipment I use is a Canon 7D body and 150-500mm Sigma Lens. I have also now changed career and can now officially put my status as Semi Retired, (at last) with now only working two days a week I will be hopefully doing more travelling and would like to do what my Father so desperately wanted to do when he retired and that was to travel the whole coast of England, Scotland and Wales. Unfortunately he never got to do it himself so I will hopefully be picking up the mantle.
